WatchMojo.com is a website (with associated YouTube channel) that counts down lists of anything and everything connected with the world of popular culture. Today, it published a list titled "The Top 10 Stupidly Overpowered Superheroes" that I think members will have a grand time debating. The nominees (in the order presented and the site's main beef with them) are:
 
#10 The Flash
Main superpower: Superhuman Speed
Beef: How does this enable him to walk through solid objects?
 
#9 Doctor Fate
Main superpower: Immortality
Beef: How does this enable him to travel to alternate dimensions?
 
#8 Batman
Main superpower: None
Beef: Why should a non powered hero be called a superhero?
 
#7 The Silver Surfer
Main superpower: Virtually indestructable
Beef: Why should his board have super powers as well?
 
#6 Black Bolt
Main superpower: Super Solider Serum in Super Solider
Beef: A voice than can destroy civilsation? Come on!
 
#5 The Sentry
Main Superpower: Superman etc.
Beef: Why did he have to have an opposite alter ego that requires him to forget he is a superhero?
 
#4 Scarlet Witch
Main Superpower: Expert mistress of the mystical arts
Beef: So she can rewrite reality, because...?
 
#3 Superman
Main Superpower: Superman
Beef: And yet he can be taken down by magic?
 
#2 Saitama aka One Punch Man
Main Superpower: Being able to defeat anyone with a single punch
Beef: One punch and that's it?
 
Honourable mentions:
The Incredible Hulk: Superhuman Strength, so why only when he's a monster?
Franklin Richards: Can alter reality, so why is Mr. Fantastic so worried about him?
Legion: Has a split personality, but does each personality have to have a different power?
 
#1 Doctor Manhattan
Main Superpower: Omnipotent
Beef: So why make him omnipotent in the first place?
 
I would be very interested in member's opinions as to whether they agree that these superheroes are indeed overpowered, or offer their own suggestions.

As far as The Flash, which is my main and fav hero, it is stipulated that he can go through objects because 1. he can go faster than the speed of light 2. there's a wave-particule duality aspect in which he turns his physical form into a wave to go through an object and then transforms back into a physical body and 3. it takes advantage of "quantum leaps", in which particles can escape their physical constraints for small periods of time, but since he's moving so fast he can make use of all that energy to generate quantum effects in the tangible (not microscopic, nanoscopic,etc) world.

 

It is my fav superhero because of all the physics involved (used to be a PHYS major before switching to math and graduating).

 

As far as the rest, I'm not sure I'm qualified to explain the meta or generate substantial arguments :P
